Has anyone experiences with DSL-Routers != Cisco and doing port scans? 
!= Cisco means pricing should be under ~300 EUR each.

How about using old (P2, with PCI bus network card) or small PCs (like eBox, 
about 100 EUR new) as Linux or *BSD boxen directly as DSL endpoints?  

This way you can parallelize stress testing even on the PC level. Question is 
what you want to stresstest to need such capacity. A recent PC or Laptop can 
generate about half a Gbit/s worth of test-traffic against a HTTP server (and 
serve as much e.g. with Apache 1.3 under Linux). But I've still got to see a 
100Mbit/s DSL line, not to mention a Gbit/s line...
